The spatial and temporal components of a serial position recall task were experimentally manipulated in a study using kindergarten, first grade, and second grade children to determine the factors involved in the primacy effect. (BRT)

A serial recognition task was used to compare performance of two age groups of learning disabled children (mean chronological ages 8.1 and 10.6) with 2- and 3-dimensional representations of nonlabeled 8-point random shapes. (Author/JMB)

Presents four studies which examined the ability of kindergarten and second-grade children to regenerate the order of events expressed in narrative sequences using recognition, reconstruction, and recall as the response modes. (Author/ED)

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of stimulus presentation rate on recall and primacy-recency effects in children. Results indicated that the traditional interpretation of the primacy effect as reflecting long-term memory store may not be valid. (Author/SB)

Investigated the serial recall strategies of 96 children aged 5-8 years by applying a theoretical and methodological approach originally developed to investigate preschoolers' arithmetic strategies. Results indicated the use of multiple approaches for serial recall and adaptive strategy choices. (RJC)

Effects of action content and verbal codability of stimulus pictures, parental occupational status and verbal intelligence upon nonverbal serial recall were investigated in white first graders. (Author/SB)
